A Wedding Rinr Matto

y
The word Mizpah is Of Hebrew origin, and,
literally translated means beacon, or watch
tower. From this it has come to mean the
memorial or reminder of covenant. The
earliest mention we have of this word in the
Bible is when Laban, pursuing the fleeing
Jabob, finds and becomes reconciled to him,
and the heap of stones piled up by them both
ON Mount Gilead served double purpose
as witness to the covenant between these two
and as landmark of the boundary between
them. Laban called the place Mizpah; for,
said he, the Lord watch between thee and mo
when we are absent from one another. The
word Mizpah is frequently, in the significa-
tion thus expressed by Laban, engraved in
engagement or wedding rings, both as a
token of the covenant and as prayer that
the watch angels Of God win hover over the
beloved. -
